The UK and US made a series of agreements in 1941 that allowed American forces to operate campaigns against Germany. Today. the UK and USAF still have a selection of bases. but only three used for operations. RAF Mildenhall is the 100th Air Refuelling Wing operating the Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker. Also. housing the 352 SOW is Special Operations Command Europe that operates the C130J and CV-22 Osprey. and the 95th Reconnaissance Squadron. which conducts RC-135 Rivet Joint ops in Europe and the Mediterranean.

RAF Lakenheath hosts the 48th Fighter Wing and is assigned to USAF Europe – Air Forces Africa. The 48th Fighter Wing aircraft is the F-15 Eagle plus the 56th Rescue Squadron who are a combat-ready search and rescue squadron of HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopters. RAF Fairford. the US Air Force's only European airfield for heavy bombers. is currently a standby airfield. Its most prominent use in recent years has been as an airfield for B-52s during the Gulf wars.

With superb photography. United States Air Force in Britain looks at its history and development to the present day.
